NO DECARBONISATION WITHOUT OPTIMISATION
ecarbonisation, the process of reducing carbon emissions across various sectors, cannot fully be realised without the implementation of route optimisation
Optimisation is essential for minimising fuel consumption, reducing unnecessary travel and improving overall efficiency By strategically planning routes companies can significantly cut emissions for their fleets
Therefore while transitioning to cleaner energy sources is crucial integrating route optimisation into your decarbonisation journey is equally vital and a big step towards meaningful reductions in carbon emissions
ELECTRIFY
oute optimisation should be the first step in a companies decarbonisation journey as it maximises the efficiency of existing operations, setting a strong foundation for electrification and decarbonisation By optimising routes companies can reduce mileage fuel consumption and overall energy use which in turn lowers costs and minimises the environmental impact
of their current fleet This increased efficiency not only makes the transition to EVs smoother by reducing the number of vehicles and charging infrastructure needed, but also ensures that the full benefits of electrification are realised once the switch is made Optimize s CEO Colin Ferguson explains “Electric vehicles are part of a wider decarbonisation strategy for fleets but all assets that consume energy and particularly fossil fuels, can be made more efficient through optimisation and how these assets work in conjunction with each other, is important In this way, fleets can make a difference in the moment, rather than waiting until the electric vehicles they may have on order or are thinking about procuring become available
Starting with route optimisation thus amplifies the impact of subsequent steps in the decarbonisation journey
Use the cost savings generated by optimisation to fund the next round of electrification Optimize helped Yorkshire Water make data-based decisions to aid them on their decarbonisation journey, here’s what they said, “The analysis from Optimize gave us exactly what we wanted– clear evidence-based answers to the question of how much potential there is to electrify our fleet ” To find out more click here
